Arne Slot makes major Liverpool admission as his four word comment sums up Mo Salah

Arne Slot admitted his relentless Liverpool side “needed a bit of luck” to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to nine points. Against in-form Bournemouth, Liverpool were given a first half penalty by referee Darren England who decided Lewis Cook had tripped Cody Gakpo. The decision infuriated the home fans who also saw their side twice hit the post, saw Liverpool keeper Alisson pull off a series of top saves and saw David Brooks have a goal disallowed.
“We had to play on top of our abilities and we needed a bit of luck to win this game,” said Slot. “If you want to win here, you need a bit of luck because the margins are so narrow. It was a close call for us. “And, of course, having Mo Salah definitely helps in a game like this. He was absolute quality.”. Salah scored his 20th and 21st Premier League goals of the season to extend Liverpool’s unbeaten run in the title race to 19 games. And Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk declared: “I see the hard work he puts in, but the numbers speak for itself.
“It was an outstanding performance, but he is a phenomenal player.”. Salah himself said: “We need to stay humble and take each game at a time. It feels good scoring goals and the team winning. My main target is to win the Premier League with the team. We are going in the right direction.". Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola suggested there was a lack of consistency in refereeing and said: “The penalty could have gone one way or the other but you need the small details to go for you against these top teams.
“We should have scored and put them under pressure but, overall, I am very pleased with the performance.”. Join our new WhatsApp communityand receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
